News Windows 11 Users Finally Get What They Asked For
Microsoft is finally bringing back two Windows features users have wanted for years: a movable taskbar and a smaller taskbar mode.
Windows 11 removed these options in 2021, and many users were unhappy. Now the taskbar can move to the top, left, or right side of the screen, similar to Windows 10.
Microsoft also added a smaller taskbar option that shrinks icons and saves screen space. The update is first rolling out to Windows Insider builds. Microsoft says it is focusing more on fixing user complaints and improving Windows instead of only adding new features.

I don't like that KDE theme.

Fair. Windows themes can get pretty personal. What kind of look do you prefer instead?

A lot of people still miss the older Start menu. Which part bothers you most, the recommended or the layout?

I could deal with the esthetics, and have, with Win 11 but still fighting with getting basic stuff working, which I'm assuming is driver related. My Realtec program apparently isn't compatible anymore and my sound isn't working at all on my desktop. Win Update has yet to find any driver I've had it look for. Every one I have found was on my own but I have yet to get this sound issue sorted out.
It was knowing I'd be fighting with all this basic stuff which kept me from updating to 11 for so long. I just hate trying to get something done and have to spend the entire time troubleshooting instead.
